Spot on review for a great cigar. I agree with you in that I much prefer the maduro to the natural. In fact, the only problem I have with this cigar is finding a store that can keep it in stock.

Just had this tasty CAO maduro, and I must agree, unbelievably smooth. I paired it with a 18 year single malt and I must say, it’s truly brings out the flavor and smoothness of both the cigar and scotch.

Great review… I love this smoke & have been rationing the 5 pack I was lucky enough to win from Jon on twitter a while back.

There is definitely a box with my name on it as soon as I find them in stock somewhere.

And your right…. Its a wrap for the natural….

Victor, the maduro is in a totally different Ball Park. I really enjoyed the natural but it doesn’t hold a candle to the maduro. Unforunately they aren’t in stock yet. CAO announced that they were shipping early last week. But only a few shops accross the US have actually confirmed receiving the cigars. CAO is usually really good about distrubution so I would expect to see them start landing in local shops anyday now.

Tony, As I told you in the past about La Travieta when i tried at the Big Smoke in Vegas. I though it was one of CAO cigars that I enjoyed the most. I can’t wait to try the maduro now. Does your buddy Adam have these in stock now?

Jared, yeah a little over an hour. I would estimate it closer to 1.5 hours as I couldn’t put this cigar down. I absolutely loved it. Sadly, after having this one I don’t ever see myself going back to the natural.

Daniel, I will! I promise! You’ll love it man, if you can find a place that will ship these to you make the purchase. If you can’t, I will make the purchase for you 🙂

Jeff, Thanks for the kind words! This was a tough cigar to review as I found myself enjoying it just too much. We would be honored and greatful for the link!

Tony,

I smoked my first one of these last night and I’ve got to say, your review is dead on. What a great smoke!

You cool if we link this to our smoke shop website and Fbook page?

Thanks!
Jeff

A maduro version of the best value smoke I’ve had..maybe ever. Sign me up. Good work my man. It seems you nailed it on this one so….any others you have just send on over to Afghanistan. Oh, and what was the burn time?

Let me clean the drool off my keyboard… That smoke sounds awesome!
For the price, you just can’t beat a La Traviata and now a Maduro wrapper? Just send me a box and be done with it!
And nice glass in the picture Tony! Get your lazy butt to the store and buy a proper one! 😛

Jared, he mentioned the burn time to be just over an hour, sounds about right to me. can’t wait to light up one of these bad boys. Good job Tony!
